I have a workflow that includes an approval step and a later action that fires a child workflow, scheduled at a particular date. I know that in some instances, the approver will not give their approval until after the date that the child workflow is scheduled for. 

So my question is, if the workflow gets to the step where it runs the child workflow and it see a date that is in the past, does it immediately run that workflow, or does it choke at that point?

Thanks
